Suspension Settings

Could somebody please post the standard base settings for front and rear suspension on a 98 850 4tx.
( Front end feels awful so before I start throwing money at it I should at least see what it's like on factory settings )
Many thanks 👍

Should be a maintenance item, seems like it's a cheap(ish) upgrade in Hungary...
I'm pretty sure I had the first fork oil change done on my '02 9er last week. Bought her this spring.
Same with my 'Zuki a bit earlier...

What do you guys use to support the front of the bike if removing the steering assembly?
I've used centre stand and timber blocks under the engine on other bikes but the exhausts don't appear to leave much space for chocking it up

Christ - I failed to mention mine only has side stand so will have to use paddock stand. I'm not keen on putting all that weight on the pipes, they're fairly old and a bit ropey.

Whilst Chris is a well respected member on here, I'm not sure he's quite reached that status just yet.
Axle stands work for me.

There's always the ladder trick for extra support if you have a paddock stand and trolly jack. Bar and axle stands is probably a better way to support the weight once it's up, but there's no issue with jacking it under the pipes, although I did wedge a bit of wood between the pipes and the engine to take a bit of the load
I found this guide pretty good when playing about with suspension
